I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night

258 Are You Willing to Marry Me Now?!”

“The second son of the Zhou family is the most outstanding person in the Zhou family’s generation! Unfortunately, he’s not the eldest son!”

Doctor Luo walked beside Lin Suisui and told her what he knew about the Zhou family.

“Back then, Old Master Zhou fought beside the previous emperor, so he naturally had no time to care about his family’s matters. When he finally had time to deal with his family’s matters, he realized that his sons and grandsons had already been spoiled into good-for-nothings by the women in his family!

Old Master Zhou was anxious, but fortunately, Zhou Hengchang had just been born at that time, so Old Master Zhou raised him personally!

!!

Although he was nurtured in terms of personality and ability, he had not been by his parents’ side that much, so their relationship was much more distant!

In addition, since Old Master Zhou was so focused on Zhou Hengchang, how could the other Zhou family members not have any objections?!

It was fine if it was anyone else, but how could Mr. Pei be at ease?!

Therefore, although Zhou Hengchang is in charge of the Zhou family’s army now, his status in the Zhou family is actually very precarious! However, if he can successfully marry Princess Ning Fu, his situation will probably improve a lot!”

“But Princess Ning Fu doesn’t like him.” Lin Suisui picked up her skirt and walked up the steps slowly. As she listened to what Doctor Luo told her with relish, she also offered her opinions.

“How do you know?” Lin Suisui’s words surprised Doctor Luo and he turned to look at her. “I thought you didn’t know about Mr. Zhou!”

“I don’t know.” Lin Suisui smiled as she replied, “However, if Princess Ning Fu really likes Zhou Hengchang and wants to marry him, Zhou Hengchang wouldn’t have to rush over so eagerly after receiving a letter from Princess Ning Fu!

Most importantly, with Zhou Hengchang’s current situation, if Princess Ning Fu liked him and was willing to marry him, this marriage would have been completed long ago. Why would she wait until now?!”

Of course, the most important reason she made this judgment was Duke Huai Yang’s mother.

If she was right, be it Duke Huai Yang’s mother or Princess Ning Fu herself, they were all waiting to maximize the benefits of Princess Ning Fu’s marriage!

As for Zhou Hengchang, he was clearly not the best candidate!

After all, no matter how powerful the Zhou family was in the north, they were only a local tyrant! To put it bluntly, such a family was at most an ordinary military family in the Imperial Court. How could Duke Huai Yang’s mother be willing to let her granddaughter marry Zhou Hengchang?!

If Princess Ning Fu really married into the Zhou family, wouldn’t she have to stay in the north for the rest of her life?!

How were they going to return to the capital?!

Being unwilling to marry was one thing, but if Duke Huai Yang’s ministry wanted to gain a foothold in the north, they had no choice but to borrow the Zhou family’s power!

However, although Zhou Hengchang wanted to marry Princess Ning Fu, he wasn’t a fool!

If he did this once or twice, he could still think of it as a way of wooing the young lady. However, at this moment, after knowing the truth that Princess Ning Fu had really hidden this time, he was no longer as gentle and good-tempered as before!

“Brother Hengchang, my grandmother was bullied by them and she’s bedridden now. I had no choice but to write to you!”

At this moment, in the reception hall of Duke Huai Yang’s ministry’s mansion, Princess Ning Fu was crying in front of Zhou Hengchang. She didn’t like the crass general in front of her.

She liked the cultured and refined young masters in the capital much more!

Worst case scenario, she was willing to choose General Wei, whom she had only met a few times…

However, she had no other choice. Duke Huai Yang’s ministry no longer had any status in Cloud Mountain City. If that woman was even able to punish the general’s wife, wouldn’t Duke Huai Yang’s ministry, who had no one to rely on, be a piece of cake for that woman?!

Besides, her grandmother was the one who sent the people!

If they really pursued the matter, what would happen to her and her grandmother?!

Princess Ning Fu had never been an opinionated person. After discussing it with her grandmother, who was already frightened out of her wits, she thought of Zhou Hengchang.

Although Zhou Hengchang wasn’t the heir of the Zhou family, he controlled the Zhou family’s army.

Moreover, most importantly, he had always expressed his desire to marry her very clearly.

If they could obtain Zhou Hengchang’s help at this time, the situation of Duke Huai Yang’s ministry would be much better! More importantly, Princess Ning Fu even planned to bring the old consort to the Zhou family’s home for a period of time.

At the very least, she didn’t want to stay in Cloud Mountain City anymore!

It was too terrifying and dangerous!

Of course, it was also too embarrassing!

“Princess, even if I want to help now, in what position should I help you?!”

Zhou Hengchang sat in his seat as he listened to Princess Ning Fu cry for a while. In the past, he would have coaxed her. However, this time, he just sat there and looked at the aggrieved Princess Ning Fu like an outsider.

“Princess, the matters of Duke Huai Yang’s ministry naturally have to be handled by your people. I’m just an outsider. What right do I have to interfere in Duke Huai Yang’s ministry’s matters?!”

“But, but my grandfather…”

Princess Ning Fu was so shocked by Zhou Hengchang’s words that she forgot to cry and she looked up at Zhou Hengchang in shock. Before she could finish stammering, she was interrupted by Zhou Hengchang’s disdainful smile. “Princess, when he was alive, he did fight on the battlefield with my grandfather and made meritorious contributions!

But they’ve already passed away, haven’t they?!

There’s a saying that goes, “The tea will turn cold after the tea leaves. No matter how deep the friendship was, it’ll eventually fade after so many years!”

“Brother Hengchang, didn’t Sr. Zhou instruct you to take good care of me previously? If you’re saying this now, aren’t you letting him down?!” Princess Ning Fu gritted her teeth and couldn’t care less about maintaining her aggrieved image anymore. She glared at Zhou Hengchang as she criticized loudly, “Besides, didn’t you say that you wanted to marry me?!”

“Then, are you willing to marry me now?!” Zhou Hengchang raised his head slightly and looked at Princess Ning Fu with a smile. “If you agree now, I will naturally do my best to help Duke Huai Yang’s ministry escape. I definitely won’t go back on my word!”
